After visiting Syracuse, FSU transfer center Naheem McLeod schedules visit to SEC school (PS; Waters)
After visiting Syracuse University this past weekend, Florida State transfer Naheem McLeod has scheduled a visit to an SEC school.
McLeod, a 7-foot-4 center who spent the last two years at Florida State, will visit Mississippi State on Wednesday. McLeod announced the visit on his Twitter page.
McLeod doesn’t have any other visits scheduled at this time.
In his two years at Florida State, McLeod earned 16 starts, including 11 this past season despite battling some injuries. He recorded an astounding 1.2 blocks per game despite logging barely over 13 minutes per game.
The 255-pound McLeod provides a massive interior presence. He could potentially fill the hole created by Syracuse’s starting center Jesse Edwards’ departure to West Virginia.
With Edwards gone, Syracuse has little experience at center. Mounir Hima, a 6-11 sophomore, averaged 7.4 minutes per game last year after transferring to SU from Duquesne. Peter Carey appeared in just three games as a freshman before taking a medical redshirt. Hima and Carey both dealt with injuries last season. Incoming freshman William Patterson, a 7-2 center, will need time to add strength to his long frame.
Donnie Freeman Sets Decision Day (orangefizz.net; Frank)
Syracuse’s top target in the 2024 class, Donnie Freeman, will be making his college decision on Thursday, May 11th in what will be a moment SU fans will be locking in to see if Adrian Autry can land his first major high school recruit. Freeman visited the Orange back in early April, and the SU coaches saw him again at the Nike EYBL in Atlanta later in the month. Now, he’s ready to decide between Syracuse, Texas, Iowa, Alabama, and Georgia Tech.

Girard on playing against Syracuse: ‘There’s no bad blood’ (PS; TMS)
Joseph Girard III announced Sunday that he is trading one shade of orange for another.
With five words on Twitter, Girard announced his plans to transfer from Syracuse to play basketball at Clemson, staying within in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
“Clemson, Let’s Do This Thing!” Girard tweeted, with a photo collage of himself wearing a Clemson Tigers uniform.
Girard, the former Glens Falls High School star and New York state’s all-time scoring leader, started most of his four seasons at Syracuse.
A 6-foot-1 senior combo guard, Girard has one more year of eligibility because he played during the 2020-21 coronavirus pandemic season. He averaged 16.4 points per game and shot 40% from the floor for the Orange this past season.
Girard, 22, said he decided in March to enter the NCAA transfer portal and leave Syracuse for his final year in the wake of longtime coach Jim Boeheim’s retirement. Boeheim coached the Orange to a 17-15 record in his final season.
“With Coach Boeheim being gone, I wanted to expand my horizons and start something new,” Girard said by phone Sunday evening. “I feel blessed that I had that Covid year and I could explore my options. I wanted to go somewhere that I’m excited about — starting new and making the most of the one year I have left.”
Girard, who graduates from Syracuse this coming weekend with a bachelor’s degree in sports management, said he plans to pursue his master’s degree while he plays at Clemson. He made the ACC All-Academic team for the third straight season.
He said his decision came down to either Clemson or LSU, the two schools he visited in April. Clemson won out because he felt more “comfortable” with the school in South Carolina. The Tigers, coached by Brad Brownell, finished 23-11 last season.

Want to be in a movie? New Syracuse film needs more than 1,000 extras (PS; Herbert)
A new movie filming in Central New York is looking for hundreds of people to be extras.

All ages, genders and ethnicities are invited to apply to be an extra at Application | AND Casting by Annie Delano. Signing up is free.

All Covid restrictions have been lifted for film productions. Masks are optional, no testing and no proof of vaccination is required.

Coca-Cola to build Northeast’s largest dairy plant near Rochester
(PS; TNS)
The Coca-Cola company plans to build a $650 million, 100-acre milk production plant outside Rochester, N.Y., that would draw from local dairy farms and create an estimated 250 jobs, officials said Tuesday.
The 745,000 square-foot factory for Coca-Cola’s Fairlife milk brand is set to be planted in a grassy, tangled stretch in the town of Webster, east of Rochester, and would be the largest dairy plant in the northeast, according to Gov. Hochul’s office.
Announcing that it had selected Webster as the site of the plant, Coca-Cola cited the town’s location between dynamic dairy cooperatives in the Rochester and Niagara regions. The factory is due to be built by 2025, with construction beginning in 2023, Coca-Cola said.
Hochul said in a statement that Coca-Cola’s decision “marks the next chapter in New York’s agricultural success story” and came over stiff competition from other states. The dairy industry represents New York State’s largest agricultural sector.
“New York’s dairy industry serves as a crucial economic engine for our state,” Hochul said in the statement. “Coming from a family of dairy farmers in Ireland, I am proud to have secured this major opportunity to position our state as one of the nation’s top dairy producers.”
Fairlife, which launched a decade ago, produces heavily filtered high-protein, low-sugar milk products free of lactose. It also produces protein shakes.
Fairlife’s annual sales exceed $1 billion, according to Coca-Cola, which acquired the dairy company in 2020. Tim Doelman, chief executive of Fairlife, said demand for his company’s products has never been higher.
